OUA East: Blues edge Lions; Vees defeat Rye

In addition to Carleton's win over Ottawa, there were 3 other games in the OUA East on Saturday night:

#6 Toronto (22-6, 13-3) 70, York (6-21, 4-13) 64 6'2" Rob Paris had 19 of his game-high 23 points in the first half as the Blues held off a resurgent York team in North York. 6'3" Tut Ruach had 13 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists including a long, big 3 late in the game to make things interesting as York continues to play with more desperation, giving a very good Toronto team all they could handle.

Laurentian (4-22, 3-14) 86, Ryerson (6-19, 5-11) 77 The Vees moved back into playoff contention with a home win against the Rams as four players hit double figures including 6'5" Omar Linder (18 points/6 rebounds) and 5'10" Darrell Drake, who put up another impressive stat line of 15 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 steals. 6'7" Boris Bakovic had 24 points and 6 rebounds for Ryerson.

Technically, Toronto is currently in second place on that tie-breaker. But that doesn't really mean anything at this point.Both Toronto and Ottawa's ultimate playoff seeding could be determined next weekend, when Toronto plays in Ottawa.If the Blues are swept two straight than the race for 2nd place is all but over.But if the Blues could pull off a split with a win over Ottawa U at Monpetit Hall, then Toronto definitely has the inside track to that all important first round bye.
